Providing support, education, and resources to those affected by Congenital Heart Defects.

About

Kids With Heart National Association for Children’s Heart Disorders was founded in 1985 as a local support group for families affected by congenital heart defects in Northern Wisconsin. In 1991, Kids With Heart went National and the name was officially changed to Kids With Heart National Association for Children’s Heart Disorders, Inc. It was the first National organization dedicated to providing support, education, and awareness for congenital heart defects. Kids With Heart NACHD, Inc is a non-profit organization and has been run by volunteers since the very beginning. Therefore, we have no salaries to pay, no rent to pay, no senseless overhead costs.

Kids With Heart National Association for Children’s Heart Disorders is dedicated to providing support for families affected by congenital heart defects through surgical care packages, local support group meetings, and through an online listserv. Kids With Heart NACHD Inc. continues to raise awareness through local events across the U.S, displays at fairs, and numerous awareness projects such as car magnets. Kids With Heart NACHD Inc. also has an extensive library of congenital heart defect books. Hospitals throughout the U.S. have bought our books and have them displayed in parent libraries. These books are also available to parents to purchase at our low price.

Of course, all this would not be possible if not for our dedicated volunteers! We would like to thank all our volunteers that have been a huge part in helping Kids With Heart National Association for Children’s Heart Disorders in the fight aganist congenital heart defects.

“Almost everyone knows someone affected by congenital heart defects and many of them think they are the only ones. Would this be you or someone you love? You are not alone, we are here for you.”
